So this evening, I went into Leeds with a few other people and we bought all kinds of different things to hand out to the homeless people who live on the streets of Leeds... And what an experience it was
![]() I never thought that people could be so generous. We'd go up to someone sitting outside a shop and they'd tell us if there was something they didnt need (like one man said he had plenty of food and to give it to someone else who deserved it) and it just made me feel so happy. There was another homeless man who told us that someone asked him to for a cig, and he only had one left, so they shared it and someone overheard his kindness and gave him £200. The guy who gave him the £200 was actually there as well, lol... He was really drunk though. (he gave him the £200 another day, when he was sober... not this evening) And what made me feel the happiest, what actually brought a tear to my eye is what happened just before we left... There was a homeless guy in a wheelchair who had come up to us and had a look through all our bags of clothes and food... He didn't take a fancy to anything and then just as he was leaving, he saw a teenage black boy and said 'oh look, a f'''king n'gger' and I got mad and said, 'that's awful!' (i was that mad i just couldnt think of what to say)... anyway, the black boy said 'did he say that to me?' and i was like 'yeah, sorry, just ignore him' and he was like okay... Then he came back about 5 mins later with a bag of mcdonalds and gave him some food and told him he didn't have to be so rude. I actually nearly burst out crying in front of everyone. The homeless guy told him and his friends to f'''k off, but at the end of the day, it's the thought that counts. I just couldn't believe that a boy who had something so nasty said to them, turned it into something good. I've felt a lot happier tonight than I have the past few weeks... I'm literally broke now, but it was all so worth it... Sorry for the long ass rant, but I just thought I'd share it with you all, because it's nice to hear things like that. Have any of you ever had a similar experience? have you witnessed something so nice, it's made you tear up?
